Another hilarious episode. I loved when Bright flashed back to his room when Judau started to speak on the broadcaster. It seems like Bright is hesitant over Mirai but continually flirts with Emary. I don't understand this man, seriously~

Why did the Axis guys bring guns in the first place if they're not going to use them? They could've easily taken the Argama, but for some reason they insist on not killing anyone.

Agreed.

Also, I wonder why, besides trying to take information with Chara and keeping she in prison, they decided to put her to work as a cleaner. And, most important, guided by two childreen only.

The logic is strong with this anime. I wonder when Mashymre is coming back, he was a pretty entertaining fellow.

Judau is getting less annoying, but Bright is getting more annoying (for lack of a better word). This is completely backwards.

Seriously. If the baddies are going to be ridiculous, at least bring back the absolutely over-the-top one. What even happened to him? I was afraid I missed something.

Bright continues to cheat on Mirai. -___-

If this was any other Gundam that guy would have tried to shoot Judau's head off already.

I miss Mashymre he was the best character in the show. Bring him back sometime please? T^T

Another terribly written female character- Emary.

There's so many things wrong in this episode, I don't where to start.

This episode would be pretty humorous if half the characters weren't so stupid. I did like the random megane girl; she was braver than the fat wimpy captain.

Good episode.

But yeah, Bright you one playboy you! Guess Bright has been fighting way too long and haven't since Mirai and their kids in a long time now, he couldn't help himself.

He should have retired and lived with Mirai instead of going to Argama back in Zeta.

Tbh i though Emily would die :O

Seems Judau still doesn't want to kill people unless he has to. This series needs to bring back the consequence of war. So you have no choice but to kill to survive.

Can't wait for the next episode!

I think all of these axis troops are undwe the command of marshmallow dude .. you can see throughout the show so far how goofy or nice they can be , I'm guessing they're not like a lot of other axis soldiers who aren't under marshmallows command

Bright Noa managed to get his hands on one of the few decently written female characters in UC Gundam who gave him two wonderful kids and how does this idiot show his gratitude? By trying to get fresh with some random delusional melodramatic hoe.

Way to go, Captain. Way to fucking go.

The failed attempt at seizing the Argama was almost as pathetic as the Bright x Emaly drama this episode. Aikido-kun not being okay with killing people is fine, but a bunch of grown ass soldiers (trying to take control of an enemy ship, no less) who'd rather take everyone and their dog hostage than shoot a single fucking person was a serious sucker punch to my supsension of disbelief. On a side note, it might just be me being stupid, but 16 episodes in I'm still confused as to how the hierarchy of the Axis troops even works. I didn't know Glemy was supposed to be above Gotton in the chain of command? Who the hell is whose superior?! *headscratching intensifies*

Oh and for someone who was quick to dismiss Bright as a senile old man, you sure have to be some kind of dense not to realise Bitcha and Mondo were traitors, Elle.

I dunno man, there's so much stupidity in the air I'm scared it's gonna go right through my screen and contaminate me if I watch too many episodes in a row. I think that'll be enough ZZ for tonight.

Emaly annoyed me since she started hitting on the captain, but his absence of answer was satisfying. Until now: he reacted positively to her "stimulations" during this episode, I don't even know why. If this is supposed to be comedic, it flew over me.

I always thought Gotton was the second in hierarchy after Mashymre (or Soon now) until this episode with Glemy's behavior. Until now the uniforms usually helped to confirm the relative ranks because of those " ornaments" and additional colors present for the higher positions, in this case it doesn't seem so.

2/5

I think all the abuse he takes from the kids and the stupid situations he finds himself in are starting to give Bright brain damage.

My opinion on this show changes a lot. I actually enjoyed the comedy spots (like Axis soldiers getting ready to interrogate the two repair pilots) and the action was alright. What still is pissing me off is Bright and the endless disrespect these asswipe kids keep giving him.. and he puts up with it! You'd think after all the wars Bright has been in, he'd shut that shit down within seconds and command respect

With Emary, I'm going to give Bright the benefit of the doubt. I think when it comes down to the point they can mack on each other, Bright will remember his wife and kids and back out. But who knows with this show.

Bright has clearly been away from Mirai for too long. He's trying to resist Emary, but he's not doing the best job of it. Somebody's going to have to give Bright his own trademark slap to bring him back to reality.

Seriously, Gotton is proving quite the formidable underdog. Also, who else is rooting for Bright x Emily? Hope they at least have a few more "fateful encounters" XD

This episode was wierd. The close combat didn't feel like much... Emaly is annoyingly attached too Bright. He is totally different from the other gundams before this one. Why would they take Emaly in the end, just to let her go while they escape? Stupid. 3/5

Elle called Bright "ojisan". Blasphemy!

So Axis lost Endra but they magically got another ship, Mindra? Wow. Did I miss something? "The three musketeers of Endra" even though there were like 10 of them.

LOL that guy just threw away his gun to have a fist fight with Judau? Oh well... If this episode was meant to recreate the famous boarding by Ramba Ral - it failed.

How long dows it take to resupply Argama? It feels like an eternity.

Glemy making sure that his guest's stay aboard his ship is spent learning valuable skills. Also, did he call Leina a "first lady"? Is Glemy planning in setting himself up as the king of his own country?

Not a fan of Emily hitting on a married man. WTF?

Given how many times the Argama has been boarded by hostiles in ZZ (the White Base was also rather easily infiltrated in the MSG film trilogy, twice), I think warships should invest in having turrets that can pop out of hallway ceilings that can be remote controlled from the bridge.

I used to think Elle was one of the best characters between the new kids but, she acted like a total bitch this episode. No respect for / taunting your captain for no reason at all, and then when judau calls out Beecha and Mondo, elle defends them??? Are you fucking serious??

Bright is a disappointment honestly, in the first gundams he could talk back to people like Sleggar, kai or Seyla (in the first episodes she was as blunt), and now he can't manage a bunch of kids?

What the hell?

I cant believe i genuinely believed the people who said ZZ hate was overblown. I dont like any of the new characters. Zeta fell apart near the end and turned into garbage, but at least it gave us best Gundam girl Emma "A Machine" Sheen and the best Gundam protag out of 79, 8th MS Team, WitP, 0083, Zeta and ZZ, Kamille, who is honestly one of my favourite anime protags period.

But literally not a single ZZ-debuting character is in any way engaging or likeable. Compared with Amuro or Kamille, Judeau is so comically inferior that its almost sad.

Damn.
